It doesn't stop

Four more gold medals for Team GB today! Plus a couple of silvers too:
Gold - Sailing - Paul Goodison, Laser class
Gold - Cycling - women's sprint - Victoria Pendleton
Gold - Cycling - men's sprint - Chris Hoy
Gold - Athletics - women's 400m - Christine Ohuruogu
Silver - Cycling - men's sprint - Jason Kenny
Silver - Athletics - men's high jump - Germaine Mason
It's been announced that the velodrome at the 2014 Commonwealth Games in Glasgow will be named after Chris Hoy following his three gold medals - and he's the first Brit for 100 years to win three golds in a single Games. Similarly, an about-to-be-refurbished swimming centre in Mansfield will be renamed in Rebecca Adlington's honour when it reopens (it's the pool where she began swimming as a child).
And we've still got a lead over Australia in the overall medals table:

Let's see how long that will last! I can't believe there's only five days left, it's all gone so quickly.
